OPERATIONAL CLOSE HOUSE MINIMALIZING THE IMPACT OF PANDEMIC COVID-19

Covid-19 pandemic has been going on for more than 4 (four) months, without us knowing when it will end. These impacts can be felt in all aspects of life, such as public health, the business actifity  and all its associated activities, agriculture and animal husbandry, academic, and others. The actifitie of academic in Indonesia, through the Ministry of Education and Culture, especially universities, is required to quickly adapted to uncertain situations. To prevent and break the chain of the spread of Covid-19, work systems and learning activities are organized online, working and study from home (WFH / SFH). The system has an impact on cost on study and online meetings. The Chancellor of the University of Udayana responded and continued to update the situation with reference to the Ministry of Education and Culture. Another impact of the Covid-19 pandemic is the occurrence of disruption to food needs as a staple food for the people. To reduce this, the central and regional governments allow these supplements to run. With this permit, at the same time can reduce the economic burden on the community and the government.

In the Covid-19 pandemic the Faculty of Animal Husbandry, Udayana University carried out online recovery and study from home or study from home (SFH). Students, lecturers and employees may not be on campus. In the Faculty of Animal Husbandry campus area there is a Teaching Farm with the main activity being the operation of a Close House Broiler Cage system with a capacity of 20,200 animals /period (30 days). The porpuse of the Close House cage is a place for agribusiness practicum and student internships. The Covid-19 pandemic situation prohibits students from going to campus, but the physical activity of the cage must not be stopped, because this will cause the drope condition of the cage. With a situation that allows activities related to groceries production may be active, then with the permission of the Rector (WR.IV) operational maintenance of broiler chickens can be carried out. The implementation certainly follows the health protocol requirements (without internship students and practicum). During the Covid-19 pandemic, Clohe House enclosures had operated three times. The policy of the Dean of Animal Hunbandry Fakulty, with permission from the Rector for the operation of a Close House enclosure with broiler chicken production in the Covid-19 situational pandemic, can directly help groceries circulation, especially broiler meat on the market and at the same time strengthen the people's economy.

That is the policy of the Dean of Animal Husbandry Faculty to reduce the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic
